The idea of 'Good Friday' has its roots in Roman Mythology, and ultimately in ancient Babylon in the worship of Tammuz & Semiramis. It is an idea which was inserted into Christianity at the time when the arising Roman Catholic system was mixing paganism with the Christian faith, bringing all manner of abominable practices and beliefs into the church.

"About 200 B.C. mystery cults began to appear in Rome just as they had earlier in Greece. Most notable was the Cybele cult centered on Vatican hill ...Associated with the Cybele cult was that of her lover, Attis (the older Tammuz, Osiris, Dionysus, or Orpheus under a new name). He was a god of ever-reviving vegetation. Born of a virgin, he died and was reborn annually. The festival began as a day of blood on Black Friday and culminated after three days in a day of rejoicing over the resurrection.
